The values of Freemasonry are brotherly love, relief and truth
1.Brotherly Love: Caring for Each Other and Our Communities
2.Relief: Help and Assist Those in Distress
3.Truth: Using Knowledge and Understanding to Improve Ourselves, Our Families and
Our Communities
As Freemasons, we recognize that knowledge gained should be knowledge shared; that investing
time, knowledge and experience through mentoring and coaching is one of the better ways to live
our Masonic principles. In our modern, fast-moving and often isolating society, it is more
important than ever that Masons endeavor to seek and share these basic truths and put them into
action through a life that informs, influences and inspires others.Throughout history,
Freemasonry has provided a way for men throughout the world to live their lives to their fullest
potential in association with other like minded men. This focus on the social, moral and
intellectual development and well being of the individual man is unique among modern
organizations. For centuries, the Masonic Lodge has been the launchpad for Masonic education,
learning the values and tools required for self-improvement, enlightenment, and living a greater
purpose. Through ritual, discussions and working in the community, Masons work on becoming
better versions of themselves, and as importantly, helping brother Masons do the same.
We say Freemasonry is all about ‘taking a good man and making him better’. How? Freemasonry
recognises that there is goodness in all men-all it needs is to be channelized by self-awareness and
guided to fulfil a man’s obligations to his own self, his dear ones and his fellow men. Freemasonry opens

a man’s eyes to the cardinal principles which have stood unchanged since the dawn of society,
inculcates piety and virtue, exhorting him towards just and upright conduct, while diligently performing
his duties, and that impresses upon him the importance of steadily persevering in making a daily
advancement in his awareness and knowledge. Freemasonry is about bringing to the fore a man’s innate
compassion and love for his fellow men by proactively serving the distressed and the under-privileged,
those in straightened circumstances who need their fellow man’s assistance the most. Thus,
Freemasonry is about nurturing a good man towards adopting those universally sacred principles –
Truth, Honour and Virtue, and among virtues: Faith, Hope and Charity. This then, is what Freemasonry
is all about. Motto of Freemasonry is Brotherly Love, Relief & Truth. It encourages the practice of the
moral virtues of Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice. Freemasons do not indulge in discussions
related to religion and politics. Like many other Societies it regards some of its internal affairs as private
matters of concern only for its members. It Inculcates obedience to God & observance of the Laws of the
country. It is committed to extend the hand of fellowship & provide Relief to those in distress.
